Starts out as A46: Queen's Pawn, becomes E10: Blumenfeld Counter-Gambit (3. ... c5) and finally settles into A74: Modern Benoni (Classical) with 7.Nc3 etc | ||||||
|
1. d4 |
I only play d4 in 'real time' or blitz chess. I really should start playing it in longer games too, but e4 has served me well so far and if it ain't broke...! | |||||
| | ||||||
|
1... Nf6 2. Nf3 |
c4 or even Bg5 are possible lines | |||||
| | ||||||
|
2... e6 |
Other main lines include d5 and g6, whereas b6, d6 and c5 are also playable | |||||
| | ||||||
|
3. c4 c5 |
d5, b6 and Bb4 are more common | |||||
| | ||||||
|
4. d5 |
g3, e3 and Nc3 are the other options | |||||
| | ||||||
|
4... exd5 |
d6 is playable | |||||
| | ||||||
|
5. cxd5 d6 6. e4 |
6.e4 is a favourite move of Alexander Khalifman and Zsuzsanna (Susan) Polgar, Judith's big sister. Nc3 is the more common continuation, but I like to try rare lines in 'real time' chess. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
6... g6 |
a6 is the other possibility | |||||
| | ||||||
|
7. Nc3 Bg7 8. Be2 |
h3 is playable | |||||
| | ||||||
|
8... O-O 9. O-O a6 |
Re8 is another good continuation | |||||
| | ||||||
|
10. a4 Re8 |
Bg4 is usually played here | |||||
| | ||||||
|
11. Qc2 |
Also playable is Nd2, covering the e4 pawn. Black wants to push his queen-side pawns, which is why white played a4 and why Nd2 is a good move here preventing a future c4 pawn push by black. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
11... Bg4 |
Nbd7 is another option | |||||
| | ||||||
|
12. h3 Bxf3 13. Bxf3 Nbd7 14. Bf4 Ne5 |
Qc7 or Qe7 are the last 2 database moves, but there's much to be said for Ne5. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
15. Be2 |
Protects the pawn structure in front of the king and gives the bishop range on both flanks. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
15... h6 |
To what end? ... we'll soon find out. Rc8 or c4 and a queen-side initiative both look better here. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
16. a5 |
Making b5 less attractive an option for black as the exchange would now take place on b6, leaving him with an isolani on the a-file. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
16... g5 |
A king-side pawn push is common in the King's Indian Defence, but usually initiated by f5. This effort looks to be going nowhere. Qe7 or Rc8 look better here. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
17. Bh2 |
The best option. Bg3 merely invites black's pawns to continue their advance. Be3 is possible, giving a second bishop scope on both flanks. However, I wanted to keep my bishop focused on black's weak backward pawn on d6. | |||||
| | ||||||
|
17... g4 |
Seems to have over-extended in his desire to open lines to the king. Ng6, aiming for Nf4 is more patient and better. You should get your pieces into position first, then attack. | |||||
